Chapter 524

4444 Steps

At this moment, regardless of whether it was the platform or the plaza, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding as they sunk into silence. Heavy and excited breathing sounds gradually spread out from the crowd as their gazes were tightly fixed on the huge golden tower.

This was because the thousand storey golden tower had almost completely dimmed. Only the second storey at the top still had a spot of light that was as dazzling as a small sun.

Second place, Zhuo Wen, 4,405 steps. He was only 94 steps away from first place, Lv Yitao.

Everyone was anticipating whether Zhuowen would be able to continue climbing and surpass Lv Yitao's record, break Zhong Ling Mountain's record and reach the peak of the unparalleled mountain …

At a corner of the plaza, Lv Yitao was seated with his legs crossed. However, his face was no longer as indifferent as before. Instead, it was intertwined with a complicated and nervous expression as his gaze was tightly fixed on the identity token. He wanted to personally see exactly what level Zhuowen could reach.

The expressions of the four super geniuses, Luo Xing, Zhu Chi, Xu Tianliang and Qin Batian, changed at this moment. The four of them blankly stared at Lv Yitao, who had a complicated expression on his face, before glancing at the identity token, at the spot of light that represented Zhuowen. Instantly, their hearts churned endlessly like stormy waves.

"Lv Yitao actually came out first?

How can that Zhuowen be so strong? "Qin Batian opened his mouth as he suddenly bitterly asked.

Although Qin Batian admitted that Zhuowen's potential was extremely strong and his strength was not bad, from his point of view, he should be far from the number one genius of Muqin County, Lv Yitao.

However, from the looks of it, the potential that Zhuowen had displayed was not the slightest bit weaker than Lv Yitao. In fact, to a certain extent, he was even stronger than Lv Yitao.

"Perhaps, this Zhuowen might be able to reach the peak of Zhong Ling Mountain and break the record of Zhong Ling Mountain that has existed for thousands of years." Luo Xing's beautiful eyes faintly flashed as she spoke with a complicated expression.

Everything that Zhuowen had shown had far exceeded her imagination. This child's potential was far stronger than hers. Even Lv Yitao was slightly inferior.

Xu Tianliang's face was gloomy to the extreme. He said coldly, "To be able to hold on until now, this Zhuowen's potential is indeed not bad. However, to surpass Brother Lyu's record and reach the peak of the mountain, that is simply a fool's dream."

"Yes!

In the past thousands of years, no one has truly climbed to the summit of Zhong Ling Mountain. Even the brilliant Lü Hantian from the previous competition and the even more stunning Lü Yitao from this competition, these two exceptional geniuses have never climbed to the summit. It is unlikely that this Zhuowen will be able to reach the summit. "

Zhu Chi, who was dressed in blood-red clothes and whose eyes occasionally flashed with a blood-red glow, also stepped forward, his expression cold and indifferent.

"Didn't you think that Zhuowen wouldn't be able to catch up with Lv Yitao?

But now, not only has Zhuowen caught up, but he has also forced Lv Yitao to leave Zhong Ling Mountain in advance!

Now that you are so sure that Zhuowen won't be able to reach the summit, don't shoot yourself in the foot when the time comes. "

Seeing that Xu Tianliang and Zhu Chi were united against a common enemy, a trace of disgust flashed across Luo Xing's beautiful eyes. She waved her hand and said impatiently.

She had a hunch that Zhuowen might really be able to reach the summit and break the record that had not been broken for thousands of years.

Xu Tianliang and Zhu Chi's faces suddenly turned ugly when they heard this. However, they did not argue with Luo Xing too much. After all, there was an ancient restriction in this square. They did not dare to make a move.

Moreover, even if they made a move, they might not be a match for Luo Xing. Luo Xing was the second genius of Muqin County after all. Her strength was also unfathomable. Even if they joined forces, they might not be able to gain the slightest advantage against her.

"Brother Zhu!

This Zhuowen must have a great secret on him. With his weak strength, he was actually able to catch up to Lv Yitao in Zhong Ling Mountain. It seems that this secret must be extremely precious!

When we reach the fourth level, we must join forces to kill him. "

Xu Tianliang's eyes flickered as he suddenly sent a sound transmission to Zhu Chi beside him. Zhuowen's terrifying performance had already caused the killing intent in Xu Tianliang's heart to surge to the extreme. If this child was not eliminated, there would be no end of trouble in the future.

Zhu Chi's eyes flickered as he nodded slightly. He was also very curious about what kind of secret Zhuowen had that could allow him, a second-wheel Ultimate Emperor Stage expert, to advance triumphantly in Zhong Ling Mountain and force Lv Yitao to such an extent.

Zhu Chi and Xu Tianliang naturally did not believe that Zhuowen's performance in Zhong Ling Mountain was based on his own strength. This was because before they entered Zhong Ling Mountain, Zhuowen's strength was only at the peak of the second-wheel Ultimate Emperor Stage.

With such strength, how could he continuously break through and increase his strength in such a harsh environment as Zhong Ling Mountain? This was simply impossible, unless there was external help.

Zhuowen silently stood on the 4405th step, his gaze focused on the identity token in his hand. Especially when he saw the light dot at the first place dim, Zhuowen could not help but reveal a trace of surprise on his face.

He did not expect that Lv Yitao, who was only a step away from the 65,555th step, would not take another step. Instead, he chose to leave Zhong Ling Mountain.

"Is the last step of Zhong Ling Mountain really that terrifying?"

Zhuowen softly muttered as he raised his head slightly. His sharp gaze pierced through the layers of fog and shot towards the peak of the mountain. At this moment, at such a close distance, Zhuowen finally saw the hazy scenery on the peak of the mountain.

Within the hazy clouds, there seemed to be a tall and solemn stone statue. The huge stone statue quietly stood on the peak of the mountain, as if it was holding up the entire sky.

"On the peak of the mountain … What is there?

Even Lv Yitao is so desperate and yearning for it … What is there on the peak of the mountain? "

Deng deng deng!

As he spoke, Zhuowen suddenly stepped out and slowly walked towards the last 05th step at a moderate speed. He wanted to see if he had the qualifications to reach the peak of the mountain. He wanted to see what was there on the peak of the mountain, and what was it that kept attracting everyone to climb towards the peak of the mountain.

The moment Zhuowen stepped out, all the warriors in the square were in an uproar because they discovered that Zhuowen, who had stayed on the 4405th step for a long time, finally moved at this moment.

"Look!

Zhuowen has finally moved. He is moving towards the last 05th step. I wonder what level he can reach. "

"This Zhuowen is indeed amazing. Although his speed is much slower now, compared to Lv Yitao, there is not much difference. I wonder if he can surpass Lv Yitao's height."

Countless gazes converged on the light that represented Zhuowen. Everyone's breathing became rapid and heavy. It was as if every step Zhuowen took was stepping on their hearts. It was incomparably shocking.

Deng deng deng!

4415th step … 4425th step … 4435th step … 4445th step …

Boom!

The moment his foot stepped on the 4445th step, the pressure on the entire step almost produced a qualitative leap. Zhuowen's body even trembled. He let out a muffled groan as a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"What a terrifying pressure!

I really can't imagine how Lv Yitao managed to persevere until the 4444th step. "

Zhuowen did not retreat. Instead, his gaze was extremely firm. After feeling the powerful pressure here, he also felt Lv Yitao's strength more and more.

After all, Lv Yitao wasn't like Zhuo Wen, who relied on the replenishment of spirit energy and the improvement of his strength. Lv Yitao had completely relied on his own strength and foundation to finally reach the 4444th step. Even Zhuo Wen admired such a magnificent feat.

"4,446 steps! Cross it for me!"

Resisting the pressure around him that was like the pressure of the deep sea, Zhuowen let out a low roar. His foot suddenly stomped on the 4446st step. Suddenly, countless pressure turned into a whirlwind that blasted on Zhuowen's body. However, Zhuowen did not care. He directly stepped on the step like a madman.

Puchi!

A mouthful of blood was immediately spat out from his mouth. At this moment, Zhuowen's complexion became incomparably pale. Gritting his teeth, Zhuowen once again stepped forward, his speed as slow as an old ox pulling a cart.

When Zhuowen stepped on the 4445th step, the entire square was in an uproar. Uproars and exclamations were like a symphony, exploding across the sky and spreading to every corner of the square.

"Look, Zhuowen has reached the 4445th step, and he's still slowly climbing. Perhaps he really can reach Lv Yitao's height, or even surpass him."

"This Zhuowen is really too heaven-defying. I'm afraid that he's the only genius who can force Lv Yitao to such an extent in this Origin Qi Tower Battle."

"… …"

Swoosh!

Sitting cross-legged in the square, Lv Yitao's face could no longer remain calm. His eyes were tightly fixed on Zhuowen's light spot. Especially after seeing that Zhuowen had indeed reached the 4445th step, his heart became incomparably nervous.

Moreover, what made his breathing even more hurried was that Zhuowen's light spot was still ascending. Although the speed was very slow, there were indeed no signs of it stopping.

4446st step … 4448rd step … 4440th step … 4442th step …

When Zhuowen's light spot reached the 4442th step, Lv Yitao was finally unable to suppress the anxiety in his heart. He abruptly stood up, his gaze constantly fixed on Zhuowen's light spot.

At this moment, the square had become incomparably silent. Everyone blankly stared at the light spot that had already reached the 4442th step. They knew that the difference between Zhuowen and Lv Yitao was only two steps …

On Zhong Ling Mountain, countless pressure accompanied the rolling clouds. At this moment, Zhuowen's hair was disheveled, sweat pouring down like rain. His face was pale, and his body that was covered in golden veins seemed to show signs of collapsing.

"4443th step, cross it for me."

His eyes scarlet red, Zhuowen roared towards the sky. The unyielding feeling in his heart wantonly drifted out with this roar. With a boom, Zhuowen endured the pressure and directly stepped onto the 4443th step, only one step away from Lv Yitao.

"4444th step, cross it for me!"
